Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds (8 to 10) Yukon Gold or other waxy potatoes, well scrubbed
3 slices (1 ounce each) white sandwich bread, torn into very small pieces
1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
1 small onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups store-bought marinara sauce
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter

Steps:

  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat oven to 375 degrees. With a fork, pierce potatoes in several places. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake on lower rack until tender, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine bread and 1/4 cup milk. In a large bowl, combine beef, onion, garlic, parsley, egg, thyme, oregano, 3/4 cup marinara sauce, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and bread mixture. With a fork or your hands, mix very gently until just combined.
  • Transfer mixture to a rimmed baking sheet, and gently shape into a 9-by-5-inch loaf, about 2 1/2 inches thick. Bake on upper rack 30 minutes; then spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce over meatloaf, and continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 160 degrees. 25 to 30 minutes more. Let meatloaf rest on baking sheet, loosely covered with aluminum foil, 10 minutes.
  • While meatloaf rests, in a medium saucepan, bring butter and remaining 1 cup milk just to a boil. Add cooked potatoes and mash with a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove meatloaf from baking sheet. Slice; serve with mashed potatoes and remaining cup marinara sauce (heated, if desired).

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I mashed some spinach into the mashed potatoes, and they didn't even notice!

I'm not a big fan of mashed potatoes, so I served the meatloaf with roasted vegetables instead. It was a delicious and healthy meal.

I made this recipe in a slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. The meatloaf was cooked through evenly, and the mashed potatoes were still creamy and fluffy.

I'm not a fan of ketchup, so I substituted BBQ sauce in this recipe. It turned out great! The meatloaf was still moist and flavorful, and the BBQ sauce gave it a nice tangy flavor.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option, but it's still just as delicious. The mashed potatoes are also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies.
